I’ve talked previously about how the Zombie Rights Movement could take inspiration, if not exactly tactical advice, from the world of comic book superheroes the ‘X-Men’. How perhaps the best method for those who are Different to change the minds of the general fearful mass of humanity might be to simply, and visibly, do good [...]

We mentioned this rumor earlier, and even talked about this confirmation on Twitter but with the interview and the server migration I forgot to put up official notice until now: Oscar winner Jeff Bridges will play a Zombie cop in an upcoming film! The Wrap reports that Bridges will play a veteran police officer named [...]

We talked previously about this bizarre sounding independent Zombie period piece before on the ZRC blog; now more information is available: Sir Ian will play the role of the narrator in The Curse Of The Buxom Strumpet, an 18th-century zombie romp. The film was developed from a short made last year — E’gad Zombies! Like [...]

Not much seems to be available about this movie yet, but it definitely seems to be a unique take on the ‘Zombie Apocalypse’: Here’s the trailer for an indie film being shot in Athens, GA. They are making a zombie film where the zombies have no real interest in the living unless they are provoked. [...]

Ok, Europe, can we have a quiet word please? …. All right, I think we’re alone. Look; what is wrong with you people precisely? At first it seemed like a fluke here and there, a movie like ’28 Days Later’ would come out, or ‘Shaun of the Dead’, that sort of thing. We were inclined [...]

We commented previously on the trailer for ‘Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story’ here on the ZRC blog and were subsequently informed via the comments that the movie had gone up for free on Youtube for a limited time. Having watched the movie in its entirety now, I can safely say that The Zombie Rights Campaign [...]

We’ve talked a bit about the nexus of Zombies and religion here on the ZRC blog before; it’s hardly our forte, but the fairly obvious significance of the fact that Jesus (in the Christian religion) not just came back from the dead himself but raised one of the first Zombies described in Western literature is [...]

Well, this one was short, incoherent and ridiculously Anti-Zombie: That’s something, isn’t it? Approximately three minutes of literal full-throated screaming into the microphone combined with claymation depicting heinous violence against the dim-witted claymation Zombie population. Not only that, but the short film is riddled, probably intentionally, with cliche after cliche; the cabin in the woods, [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign has had a long and eventful history with the film today known as ‘III Slices of Life’. Even before we had begun formal operations the proto-ZRC saw the first published segment of ‘III Slices of Life’, then called ‘W.O.R.M.’ and now incorporated into the final anthology as ‘Work Life’, at The [...]

Just what the world needs, right? Another bit of historical fiction infused with Zombies? Well, maybe: Ater being announced last year, Los Angeles-based entertainment venture Sham Productions has acquired the film rights to author Alan Goldsher’s acclaimed Beatles/zombie remix novel, Paul Is Undead: The British Zombie Invasion. Sham President Barry M. Greenberg will produce Goldsher’s [...]
